Governors at a local primary school have set themselves an ambitious target - to get pupils a playing surface which is flat and can be used in all weathers.
Kewaigue School needs to raise £30,000 by the end of July to achieve the goal.
That would allow for the all-weather surface to be installed in the summer holidays, the only practical time to do it.
Parent governor Sue Gee was asked why the government isn't paying for the facility:

Wintry showers expected over coming days
